What will OHIP cover for those who are Obese?

Question

I'm looking for key information much like Nutritionist, Personal Coaches, as well as anything else.

Answer 1

OHIP will cover a nutritionist if your regular doctor refers you and the nutritionist is based in a hospital.  (not a gym for example)  Gyms are not covered, nor are personal coaches.  Gastric bypass is covered (not lap band) but the excess skin removal isn't "officially" covered.  (you have to get your doctor to get preapproval to get that removed citing medical issues that result from the excess skin...otherwise it is cosmetic)  The wait is very long for gastric bypass as well.
